1.You can introduce the characters with a mini biography.
2. In a paranormal story, you can list their type: werewolf, witch, angel, demon, etc. and powers.
3. In a mystery, you can introduce the sleuth, the victims, and suspects.
4. In a romance, you could have one for the protagonist and the different love interests if she has to choose.
5. You can introduce the character's role and/or motivation in the story. Are they the protagonist, antagonist, friend, or foe?
The cards could be used with any genre and for a multitude of purposes.
1. Share them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. as a fun marketing tool.
2. Have them printed out and distribute them at events.
3. Create a collector card set for a series, much like baseball cards. This would be fun for YA and middle grade and epic Fantasy.
4. Feature them on your blog and website.
